Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

I would've been pleased to give Wolf Cop a 10/10 for the action-packed, pun-drenched, plot-twisting journey it took me on if not for the poor taste of a few jokes along the way. Some things are not funny anymore, and Wolf Cop's producers should've thought twice about including them in the final cut.For what it was, however, Wolf Cop was enjoyable and worthwhile. Despite attempting to have my reservations, I'm greatly looking forward to seeing the sequel. 7/10 stars, and I would watch it again.

I was REALLY expecting to like WolfCop so much that I watched it twice because I didn't care for it all that much the 1st time I watched it.The 2nd time I watched it, I thought it might be better the 2nd time around,It was a little better but about the same.WolfCop is a good movie but it was kind of blah.My main problem is that it really didn't get started until there was about 35 minutes left in the movie.It was good enough that whenever part 2, 3, whatever comes out & I get a chance to see it, I'd take a look at it.I'm hoping that part 2 will (Maybe) make me like part 1.I guess I'll wait & see.If somebody asked me if they should see WolfCop, I'd definitely say give it a shot.I didn't like it as much as I thought I would but maybe you might

Version I saw: Grimm Up North festival screeningActors: 5/10Plot/script: 4/10Photography/visual style: 5/10Music/score: 5/10Overall: 5/10WolfCop is a quintessential B-movie, romanticising an era when the A- and B-movie system still existed. I went into it hoping for something that was daft but fun. Unfortunately, what I got was far short of that.For far too much of the movie - the first 20 minutes at least - the story is played almost completely straight. Sgt Lou Garou is a stereotypical lazy cop, and his name (a pun on the French word for werewolves) is pretty much the only joke we get. It only hits its stride with his first transformation scene, followed by a hyperactive torrent of physical comedy and dog/wolf jokes. The change of pacing is so jarring that I wonder what writer/director Lowell Dean thought he was doing.The tone management is not the only thing that's shoddy, though. The special effects, beginning with the werewolf costume and continuing throughout the movie, are really poor, as is the acting from the almost entirely Canadian cast. The plot develops gaping holes, indicating a general lock of thoroughness... and worst of all, it is mostly not funny.Parody may seem easy, but it is fraught with potential pitfalls. Mocking something for being bad by making your own version that is bad just doesn't cut it. The intention here seems to be a cross between Teen Wolf and Hobo With a Shotgun, but it doesn't have a star with the charisma and comic timing of 80s Michael J Fox, and Hobo With a Shotgun... well, let's be honest, it's rubbish.I genuinely believe the intention here was pastiche rather than genuine ineptitude, but instead of making the film amusingly bad, they have ended up with a film that is just bad.

Wolfcop reviewFor a film with the title WolfCop and that has boobs on display in the first 3 minutes, it became a surprisingly bleak first half. The story of an alcoholic cop, and starring an actor I'd actually seen in a film before (Not as the WolfCop itself though), it got me invested in the despair of the run-down crime-ridden town. The first transformation from Lou Garrou into Wolfcop was sudden, effective an phallic, and the film took a shift from grim and dark into some B-movie style awesomeness with bad jokes (he's 'the fuzz'), faces being ripped off, and a whole lot of cleaning up town. The ending went in an unexpected direction, with a Grimm fairytale sex scene, a whole lot of oddness and a good old fashioned gunfight (and wolf bite) ending. An unforeseen gem of a movie, roll on WolfCop 2. "Lou, your a wolf!" (growls) "Cop!"
